Pros

Xero has a huge amount of variety to the work here, with teams that strive for continual improvement. The company doesn't stand still and has a high level of success. Xero also provides a lot of support, in multiple ways, from advocating for healthy work life balance, to subsidised sport. Xero believes that supporting teams is key to success, which gives the company a positive working environment where people are encouraged to share ideas and opinions.

Cons

Xero has grown very quickly, so although there is lots of opportunity, the future often feels uncertain.

Pros

Xero has a great product and a lot of very passionate employees who work very hard for their customers.

Cons

The executive leadership at Xero is creating a toxic, backstabbing culture that promotes yes-men at the expense of honest dialogue. It's impossible to make decisions at the company, and multiple rounds of layoffs are leaving all employees shell shocked and fearful. Marketing teams are under-resourced while more demands are constantly being placed on teams to do more. When constraints are communicated, employees are blamed for them, rather that listened to. Multiple colleagues have said the same thing. Additionally, management has instituted a 'rank and yank' policy where everyone is graded on a forced curve, where the bottom quarter are immediately put on a PIP.
